Can I Bring Engines and Engine-powered Equipment Completely Purged of Fuel on a Plane to United States?
Engines and Engine-powered Equipment Completely Purged of Fuel
Not Allowed
According to TSA guidelines, engines must be completely purged of all liquid or gaseous fuel, including residue and vapors, to be allowed in checked baggage. Even if completely purged, some airlines may refuse to allow engine powered equipment in baggage if it has ever contained fuel. Please check with your airline prior to traveling for their policy. For battery powered equipment, see separate entry.
The final decision rests with the TSA officer on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint. Official TSA Rules →
